“From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely cared for. This was my first time visiting, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, but what truly stood out was the level of attention and thoughtfulness we received. Being noticed and having the spelling of my name acknowledged made me feel seen and valued as a guest.

Ariana deserves special recognition—she went above and beyond by customizing both coquito lattes to accommodate my sister’s and my health issues, *without sacrificing flavor at all*. They were hands-down some of the best drinks we’ve had. Her knowledge, care, and exceptional customer service made this experience unforgettable. If anyone deserves a promotion, it’s Ariana!

Will be coming back my next visit to the city“

“The great concept of sustainability. Looking forward for our future.“

“Excelente propuesta, innovadora.“

“Okay nothing was wrong with the coffee it was a 10/10 iced horchata latte with oat milk and the coffee kicked!
But the cafe itself needs a bit of housecleaning. So many flies just hovering inside and the cafe needs some bg music and might help with overall liveliness of the decor.“

“We visited the place last Saturday. The cheese bread is fresh but not really the bagels we got. We waited so long ; we found out that my daughter’s order was given to someone else but they did not care to replace it at once. When we asked about our order, that’s the time they rushed to prepare it , in less than five minutes, the sandwich was handed to us. When we were in the car since we’re already late for our next appointment, my daughter found out that the replacement was wrong. She paid for plain bagel with double eggs, bacon, and cheese but she was given with plain bagel with cheese only. They asked for our phone number but did not initiate the call. I hope they will do better in their team work.“

“Went bakery hopping that day. by far it has the best croissant. Even saved one for the next day, toasted it and tasted just as good. Staff was friendly too.“

“The coffee rocks. You have to have coffee black with NO Sugar to catch all the flavors. The Guatamala medium roast is the star in my eyes. I usually like a dark roast but this has such nice undertones the lushness of a dark roast is not missed. There is a nice, sneaky, dark chocolate taste on first touch with your tongue, then a vanilla aroma in your nose with a bit of dark berry. It has a smooth and lower acid texture, which I love. The final hit is of a citrus zest. Like oil squeezed from the lemon skin, not a micro-planing of the skin. I received two 12oz bags of the Guatamala: one drip grind, one whole bean. I tried it hot with the drop grind and it was shocking good, as noted above. The beans I ground for cold brew. The cold brew had a stronger chocolate back end but while the fruit flavor disappeared, the lemon oil remained. I like cold brew better in general because of the lower acidity but the difference between the hot and cold brew versions did not have a substantial difference in the amount of acid. Excellent and recommended. Would love it if they tried a dark or even espresso roast. It might lose some of the nuance, but I bet the chocolate would stand out further. I was also given a bag of Curiosity blend. This was medium roast and very smooth. My partner loved this more than the Guatamala, especially the cold brew, and could drink it all the time. They called it a very clean, smooth coffee with no bite. I found it a very good coffee but with no standout flavors. I also thought it had a slightly rough aftertaste on the back of the tongue. Time to run to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for another bag. 😋😋😂😋😋“

“If you want a small, healthy snack and a good coffee, this is the place. Very good choices of music and friendly service as well, especialy Charlie. I usually come at closing and he is so good at cleaning and making things pristine.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Might be the best coffee in jersey city. Not all baristas are necessarily the same, but pretty much all of the ones I've had make my cortado perfectly, and they started remembering me and my order after just 2 or 3 visits. Also the children's play area, which is free to use, is great--my son loves it. This has become my go-to coffee shop.“

“Love the coffee, enjoyed it. Very flavorful! New ARABICA COFFEE DRINKER“

“Directions for semi trucks Off the 95 take 495 ( towards Lincoln tunnel !!!don't go in tunnel) take last exit to Hoboken steep down hill on to s marginal hwy take a right onto jfk Blvd take that down to 19th St and make a right ( before the Exxon gas station) once you take that right take the next left at the light down Willow Ave. Take that small overpass to 15th Street and make a right . Then take 15th St to Jefferson St which is another right turn to 16th Street which is a one way you will have to go backwards towards the docks. Ppl are nice clean building professional once you back into the dock you'll have to disconnect and hand over your license and park down the street“

“Sote Coffee Roasters is a true haven for coffee lovers. As soon as you walk in, you’re met with the rich, comforting aroma of freshly roasted beans and a sleek, modern interior that still manages to feel warm and inviting. The minimalist design highlights what matters most the coffee and the staff’s passion for their craft is clear from the first pour to the last sip.

I ordered a pour-over and a cardamom bun, and both were phenomenal. The coffee was perfectly extracted, smooth, and full of nuanced flavor notes, while the pastry was subtly spiced and wonderfully fresh. It’s the kind of place where every detail from bean sourcing to music playlist feels curated with intention. If you're someone who appreciates slow coffee done right, Sote is absolutely worth the stop.“

“Solid State Coffee is my secret go-to after the American Museum of Natural History with kids. It can get crowded, but the line moves fast, which matters a lot when you’re operating on museum-level child energy.

What keeps me coming back is that both the coffee and the food are genuinely very good. This is not just a “parents in survival mode” stop. The menu has real range: solid savory options for adults, including lighter choices like avocado toast and a super grain bowl, plus easy kid fuel like tomato soup, grilled cheese, buns, and hot cocoa. Their syrniki are my personal favorite — baked farmer’s cheese patties served with strawberry jam and whipped labneh — and they manage to feel both comforting and protein-packed. 

The café is on West 71st Street and is open daily from 7 AM to 4 PM, which makes it especially convenient for a breakfast, lunch, or post-museum reset. The company also roasts thoughtfully curated, ethically sourced coffee in small batches, which tracks with how carefully everything tastes. 

A rare family stop that actually works for everyone: good coffee for adults, real food for kids, and no unnecessary chaos.“

“Great coffee, We stopped at Roast’d coffee shop before heading to NYC, great experience; the pour over coffee was fantastic. Johan was quite friendly explaining different coffee beans as he roasted them and brews the coffee. I tried the espresso as well brewed from 3 different beans, very tasty. Now this is our favorite place to have coffee when traveling to NYC. We talked with local customers, so good vibes and recommendations. Awesome place if you love good coffee.“

“Excellent coffee!! Excellent service !!!“

“Really cool cafe! The decor is really cool, loved it a lot. Service was great, everyone is so kind and patient with explaining anything if you have questions. I got the iced banana latte, and it was described to me as a milkshake with coffee - I would totally agree, it was delicious! I definitely recommend this place.“

“Amazing coffee and friendly, attentive staff!“

“muy buen café y ambiente“

“Definitely a great tasting coffee. It really packs a punch.“

“Excellent chocolate chip cookie. The cherry vanilla latte was good, a little bit artificial tasting but not too sweet. They use Minor Figures oat milk which is great. The service (woman who served us) was not polite, and didn’t give us the cookie we paid for until I went back up (and didn’t apologize either). The barista was polite at least. Prices are a bit higher than average here for coffee. Seating was mostly full but we found a seat, which was cleaned but still wet, so I had to wipe it down. Overall I’d come back but with the price and service it wouldn’t be my first choice.“

“During my 6-day trip to NYC, Isaiah Fernandez made my latte every morning, and he truly made each visit special. He brings such positive energy to his work and genuinely seems to love what he does and the connections he creates with customers.

Getting my coffee from Isaiah became one of the highlights of my trip. His friendly attitude, consistency, and enthusiasm made every morning a little better. Thank you, Isaiah, for the wonderful experience—I can’t wait to come back on my next visit to New York! ☕️✨“

“The best coffee I’ve ever had tbh. And I’ve become a bit of a coffee snob.
I usually get an oat cortado with oat milk.

Their treats are good as well.
WiFi is available with a receipt for up one or two hours.“

“Buen café y gran sabor del bagel tostado.“

“Excellent staff and great coffee. Highly recommend and worth every penny!“

“Best coffee in NYC.. strong and delicious“

“My favorite white chocolate mocha + peaceful place to sit 🤍 the owner is such a sweet soul, and this is such a gem of a coffee shop!“

“Pretty environment! The staffs were very friendly!“

“A small but might shop! My colleagues recommended Blackstone and I have been getting coffee here almost every morning! Not only is the coffee GOOD, but the staff are the NICEST, warmest people behind the counter. This attentive and welcoming vibe makes all the difference, unlike some coffee shops in the neighborhood. They know my order and preferences, the egg salad is delicious, the wraps are plentiful, and they're quick, too! Highly recommend!“

“muy buen café y ambiente“

“Great White Christmas blend! We love cool little coffee shops.☕️ I recently moved to New Jersey and this was my first time in Brooklyn!😉👍🏻 Also my first little coffee shop out of the many I hope to try in the City!“

“My neighborhood go to. Consistently great coffee, music playlist, and cheerfully attentive baristas. The only challenge is the small size of the café itself.“

“I used to work for Java love in white lake, I left and moved to Amsterdam NY. I miss it so much it was one of my favorite jobs. I wish we had a Java love in Amsterdam, there is no good local coffee and I miss the environment ❤️“

“This location is beautiful, limited seating, a lot of working campers“

“Stepping into Stumptown feels like being welcomed into a space that values substance over showiness. It carries a sense of confident simplicity exposed brick walls, textured wood tables, and open counter space that draws your attention to the ritual of coffee.

The coffee itself is the real protagonist here full-bodied and nuanced, never bitter. Whether you go for a classic espresso or something poured over deliberately, every cup feels intentional yet approachable.

What really sticks is the energy: relaxed but purposeful. Conversations flow easily, rhythms are unhurried, and the staff exudes genuine warmth without overdoing it. It's the kind of place where even a solo moment reading, working, just being doesn’t feel lonely.

If you're after a café that respects your time and your taste, while creating a low-key space you can return to, Stumptown delivers with strong character and subtle charm.“

“Birch on 7th Ave and 14th street is my fave spot to get my afternoon skinny flat white during our class break at Pratt. The crew there is always great and I love the tip jar questions. Hang in there dear Birch! Looking forward to seeing you all again when we’re through this.“

“Wonderful iced latte! lovely staff, delish little breads and donuts.“

“Dropped in to the Chelsea location 2 weeks ago while vacationing in NYC. Great coffee, great atmosphere, great price. What’s not to like?“

“If i could give this place 6 stars I would. The coffee is wonderful, as are their non-coffee drinks (matcha, pandan lattes). There's wifi and clean toilets at this location.

The best part of this shop is by far the staff. They often give me free stamps on my stamp card, let me use my own takeout mug and (the rare time I've brought my dog) given treats to my dog.

I'm proud to call myself a regular! This place ROCKS.“

“I used to work for Java love in white lake, I left and moved to Amsterdam NY. I miss it so much it was one of my favorite jobs. I wish we had a Java love in Amsterdam, there is no good local coffee and I miss the environment ❤️“

“Great atmosphere that enhanced my creative spirit… 😬“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in the city! Drinks are amazing! I've gotten a different drink each time and have enjoyed each one! The staff is great, very kind, and you can tell that they really care about their customers! Also a good atmosphere to study or do work! I highly recommend this place!“

“Very Good Coffee. If you need a Taxi 973-539-2500.“

“Toby's Estate is a well-known specialty coffee spot serving expertly roasted beans and consistently high-quality brews. The coffee is smooth, balanced, and crafted with care. The space is modern and inviting, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a proper coffee. A reliable choice for coffee lovers in NYC.“
